This is absolutely the best video out there on this issue including how the sealing system is supposed to work. I'm impressed with the system design and feel better about solving my leaking issue following your instruction. I have a 2013 Black Diamond Edition LT which I love! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent tutorial. My Avalanche has been leaking a little for a while from the front seal by the glass and from #2 panel. #3 panel water is getting inside the panel. I think I’ll take a crack at this. Thanks. 👍
I’m having redo all my cover seals. I know cover 2 will squeeze against cover 1 and cover 3 will squeeze against cover 2. IBut what would be the process for cover 1? Or just install it like normal.? Thank you love your videos
Just install the three cover sections like normal before the new sealant sets up on the one you're restoring. You have to install all three to get the correct pressure to set it up without leaks, including the tailgate on #3.
I have a question about GM parts. Let's say down the road GM discontinues the water pump for my truck. How do I figure out what's the other parent companies that make my truck part are? For example, in the video that you made for the 96K 1500 radar replacement. It was made by del pie. How do you figure that out .And can you make a video about it?
In the case you mention, and some others, it's just knowing what companies used to be actually part of GM but were later divested or spun off as GM struggled. Saginaw division became part of American Axle & Manufacturing. Harrison, Rochester, and Packard Electric divisions eventually became part of Delphi (and some later spun off yet again as Aptiv). There are some other examples like this such as AC Spark Plug division. In some cases the part would carry the earlier GM division branding (like some radiators and heater cores were still molded with the _Harrison_ brand marks even after Delphi came into existence). In other cases the parts came from tier one suppliers to GM, and never were part of GM. Suppliers like Timken bearings, or Bosch fuel, had their own brand marks stamped into the metal parts. These are all techniques to figure out who supplied the part to GM/ACDelco as the OEM. I may do a video on this in the future, it's an interesting area of automotive history and research.
In this case, the seal was fine and reusable, but it needed to be reinstalled with the correct adhesive material to restore the weather resistant functionality.

I think steel rubber products can make you A. Custom one, you just gotta send it in a piece.
